Maldivian Thor shrimp [Thor maldivensis]
Description
As its name suggests, this species occurs in the Maldives region and is typically linked to bryozoan habitats. Divers exploring reef walls or rocky bottoms with lots of bryozoan growth may see tiny, intermittent flashes of movement within the colony as the shrimp feeds and shelters.
